Lesson learned at my vaccine appointment at Walgreens today: if you go to the check-in window, load up the QR code, check in online and then go sit and wait like the instructions say, but the pharmacists don’t actually see you check in, they won’t know you’re there

Newsom withheld *legislatively appropriated* school AC funds for 2 years. Now he's handing them to a fossil fuel company, the week after half a million kids had their school day changed by extreme heat. If that's not Trumpian, I don't know what is. Shameful. calmatters.org/environment/...

California lawmakers let schools' AC funding lapse, handing $191 million back to utilities
Despite sweltering classrooms and a heat wave, the state chose to return unspent CalSHAPE funds to ratepayers.

much as the murder of Brianna Ghey mysteriously stopped being about the climate of transphobia in the UK and became about teen access to social media, the death of Jason Arday is, equally mysteriously, no longer about racism and is becoming about free speech in academia

It’s cool that since Kyle Chandler is back in the spotlight so many people on here are talking about Early Edition, but let’s not forget that the concept for that show was lifted from René Clair’s 1944 film It Happened Tomorrow

How about Heritage on free speech? "a Jewish analyst at Heritage, who expressed First Amendment-related concerns about Howell’s suggestion to ban Muslim head scarves in Congress [was told] to “go dry clean Ilhan’s hijab.” + Censored employees who disagreed with politicians Heritage was cultivating.

The new Heritage sounds pretty sexist! "a promising intern in the legal department...was told that she should consider skipping law school, getting married quickly and having children....everyone at Heritage was required to be against I.V.F. as well as birth control, including for married couples"

"Debates over World War II became popular at Heritage, with a lot of “rehashing and going through who was the bad guy and who were the good guys,”" Also, sounds like a lot of anti-Semitism at the Heritage Foundation. Maybe Trump's task force on anti-Semitism could look into this!
Hale told me that he was willing to debate policy; what he wasn’t willing to do was “sit here and discuss whether the Holocaust happened or not.” Discussions among new hires frequently echoed arguments promoted by Fuentes, Carlson and the podcaster Candace Owens that shed doubt on the historical consensus around the Holocaust or the origin of the state of Israel. Hale described a conversation with one new hire who claimed that the publishing tycoon Robert Maxwell — the father of Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime partner and enabler, and a Czechoslovakian Jew by birth — had paid for the rights to all the history textbooks used in public schools in the United States, and that everything in them about the Holocaust was a lie.

Heritage purged internal policy experts because expertise is inconsistent with Trumpism in many policy areas, and they were desperate to curry favor with Trump.
According to multiple former staff members, Heritage leadership had, for some time, been less and less interested in the opinions of experts. Those with extensive experience in law, economics, trade, foreign policy — the so-called establishment — were increasingly sidelined. But in the early weeks of the new administration, as Heritage tried to ingratiate itself with Trump, an intensely pressurized climate took hold. Any longtime employee who wasn’t thoroughly on board with the new mission became persona non grata. “They were so concerned with getting the clout back with the administration,” the former policy staff member said. “It just exacerbated the tension between the policy people, who were like, Look, I know Trump wants to do this, but we’ve always believed, like, tariffs are bad.”

Maybe MAGA is not suited for governance? The Heritage Foundation saw internal purges, staffers using Signal to figure out what was going on, and spokespersons who attack the media than respond to questions. So, just like how Trump is running our government. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/m...
What looked from the outside like an exodus of Heritage staff in response to the Carlson controversy is, in fact, only a small portion of the 293 people who have left Heritage since 2021. By the time of the video incident, multiple former staff members told me, there was a pervasive atmosphere of insecurity and disillusionment. Employees were being fired or resigning without any announcement or explanation. “People would just get disappeared,” one former Heritage policy staff member, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of professional repercussions, told me. “There would be a weekend where you’d come in and be like, Wait, I’m sorry, how many people are no longer here?” Staff members called it the “Heritage Hunger Games.” As leaks to the media intensified, and as more people sought positions elsewhere, a paranoia settled in. Some employees, believing that their work computers were being monitored, took to communicating with each other over Signal and on burner phones. (Asked about this and other specific allegations by former employees, Andy Olivastro, the chief advancement officer at Heritage, wrote in an email, “Their self-serving, bitter and vindictive attempt to disparage Heritage from the outside demonstrates perfectly why they are no longer on the inside.”)

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
